    Luv (and  anyone else)....I  said I was looking for a winter coat.  I'll share why I am looking for a new coat.  My daughter (16 yo  at the time)  went to the mall to look for a dress for a school dance.    We found one and were at the counter paying for it.   My daughter picked  up  a bottle of fingernail  polish.   She dropped it on the floor.   How many times do you suppose a  closed bottle of fingernail polish has been dropped and nothing bad happened?  Well this one broke.  Not  only broke but splattered  on the front of the counter,  floor,  her coat, my coat, my purse,  my jeans,  and my shoes.   Could she have dropped a bottle of clear fingernail polish?  Oh no, it  was a bright green.   The cashier was very nice.   My daughter said she would have cried if the woman want so nice.  I kept my cool pretty well too.

    Mary - I didn't lose any of my hair on Gezmar. It came in a beautiful white but now it is getting darker.

    FC - Love you bunches.


    Sharon - sorry for the polish nightmare. I would have freaked out. Were you able to clean the other things? Glad the saleslady was so kind to you. Not like your DD did it on purpose.


    I am moving like a slug this am. Was so late that I did not get off to SS. But will finish and go to church services in a bit. Then wedding shower at church this afternoon. Need to go by grocery and get a gift card. I seem to be out of the loop there (my fault entirely for not attending reg.) but haven't been to big town in several weeks so has to be gift card. I hope announcements have some place their registered and grocery has one for it.

    Sas, you wouldn't be happy about her getting married would you?! lol I noticed you posted this on several threads. I don't watch much TV anymore but I do love Kathy Reichs books with Tempe Brennan.

    Stupid is a nurse who doesn't listen about where they can find a vein. Had Ct scan today and my hand is so bruised and sore. Have bad veins but this was ridickalus They had to get Dr who had two goes using an ultra sound to find vein but he was lovely, finally used my foot and was successful. Contrast always makes me shaky and with my hand so bruised and sore I am feeling so tired.

    I had chemo today. The nurse had to use a vein in my arm for the IV. She did a good job. She even said that after one try if she couldn't get it started that she would have someone else do it. I like her style. Doctor told me that my tumor markers went down half way since I have been on gezmar. YEAH! I just wish I had more energy.


    DS#2 has to go for a CT scan on Wednesday. He just had an echocardiogram last week. Poor guy is nervous. He had me come in with him for the echocardiogram even though I explained it to him what would happen. He's just too cute.


    I'm ready to take some pills and go to sleep. It's been a long day.


    Hugs!

     Woohoo Veggy!

     How frustrating  for you Alyson.   At least it's done.  Hoping for good CT  results for you.

    Ouch to the IV in the foot. They talked of doing that to me before and I cringe at the thought.


    How is this for stupid? Found out today from a phone call stating I needed to contact the mammography center for a 6 month check up. I got an automated call on Sat stating this when they are closed.


    So I had to stress all weekend and I called the breast center and said what is up with needing a 6 month check up? to which they informed me that when doing my original biopsy in July they had found that I have a complicated cyst at the 11:00 position in my right breast the same breast I had the lumpectomy in. The lumpectomy was at the 12:00 postion, which I had done in August.


    She decided on a wait and see approach on the complicated cyst in the 11:00 position- and now they want me to set up an appt to re- ultrasound it in Januaray.. Really? and what if its suspicous then? I get to go through all this AGAIN? WTH??? If it was suspicious then and close to the original site why would they not have biopsied it then? It makes no sence!!

    ndgrll HMMMMMMMMMMMMM sounds like a new crew is needed. What is that idiot boss doing?


    Kathy--yup, LOve Bones.... Seeley and Tempe's and all the characters have been done so well. AND the scripts are innovative.


    Alyson, sorry you had to experience that with the IV's. shouldn't of happened that way.

    Hi All!


    Alyson, maybe this makes your 3 crappy things and everything will start looking up now! I have hard veins to find too and can sympathize. I refuse to let them use hands and they have not gone after feet yet. Sorry you had to go through that, but hoping you receive absolutely normal results!


    Veggy! Wonderful news about the tumor markers! Now to go down the rest of the way! Holding a good thought and a prayer for your DS too.


    Ndgrrl, I went through the mammo and US showing "dense tissue" to OMG it's BC 15 months later. It is a bitter pill to swallow that they didn't take it too seriously to begin with. I pray for you it turns out to be nothing more than aggravation. Now I just tell the docs I am the monster patient they created and don't let them leave a single stone unturned. Best of luck for you.


    DutchIris, hope your week is going well.


    Hi Granny! Love your spitfire attitude :0)


    Hope everyone else is having a good week so far too!

    Strangely I'm feeling pretty good right now. I took my pain pills and anxiety medicine last night and slept like a baby. I got up at 11:47. I have a 4 foot pile of laundry. It's time to get off my lazy bum!
